Police Raid on Ghanaian-Owned Investment in Abuja Fuels Xenophobia Fears

Police Raid on Ghanaian-Owned Investment in Abuja Fuels Xenophobia Fears

Fresh concerns over Nigeria’s investment climate emerged after an operation at a Ghanaian-owned recreational facility in River Park Estate, Abuja. Armed officers from the Counter Terrorism Unit reportedly excavated part of the property entrance without explaining their authority. Eyewitnesses said the officers prevented staff from questioning their actions or filming the scene. A video shows an officer insisting that recording him without permission infringed his rights, despite staff efforts to explain the raid looked unlawful. Many Nigerians warn this incident could harm Nigeria’s reputation as a welcoming destination for foreign investors. Observers have called on the Inspector-General of Police and President Tinubu to order a transparent probe and hold anyone acting outside the law accountable.

It's striking that a counter terrorism unit led this excavation without clarifying legal grounds or notifying property owners first.

I'm not convinced this is purely xenophobic; security concerns could justify deeper checks even if communication was poor.

To rebuild trust, investors should seek legal clarity before launching projects and demand clear engagement from security agencies.
